mentioned the Superbowl commercials in Scripting News today, and wondered aloud, “What’s coming next. A link between abortion and terrorism? A link between voting Democratic and terrorism? A link between being black or jewish and terrorism?”
I suggest that the link between abortion and terrorism has already been made, albeit with relative subtlety. Go watch it again. The very last frame of the second commercial features a young woman delivering one of the “reverse testimonials” that is at the heart of the piece. She says, “My life, my body,” followed by a voice-over (female) that says, “It’s not like I was hurting anyone else.”
If that isn’t a very thinly veiled anti-abortion message that more or less equates abortion with terrorism, I’ll eat my hat.
